Queen of the Night, Hekate is one of the most ancient images from a Greek stratum of mythology. She is linked with the dark of the moon and presides over magic and prophetic vision. Mistress of the crossroads, this lunar goddess dwells in caves, walks the highways at night, makes love on the vast seas, and is the force that moves the moon. She is a guardian figure of the mysterious depths of unconscious, the ruler of the great mysterious of life, and honored in the realm of nature. She has control over birth, life, and death.
Many mortals fear her, for Her wrath can be destructive. But some long to learn from Her. On the night of the Dark Moon, She appears before the, Her hair a nest of writhing snakes, constantly transforming. And among the lessons She teaches it:
"Without Birth there is no Life;
Without Life there is no Death;
Without Death tehre is no Rebirth;
As Darkness gives birth to Light,
And Light to Darkness,
Each needing the other."
Oh, Dark Goddess!
Bring us the Knowledge of the Silver Wheel of Death and Rebirth!
Grant us the Power and the Wisdom to use it rightly!
